30 Chapter 30
Good afternoon, Captain!
Chapter 30
After hearing about Grandpa Tang’s current situation, the village chief nodded and was not too worried.
Judging from Grandma Tang's condition, it's just a simple cold. She will be fine as long as she takes medicine and rests.
What he has in his hands is more important.
With this in mind, the village chief stood up and said, "Call your family's Rufeng. I'll wait for him here."
"good."
Seeing the seriousness in the village chief's face, Grandma Tang realized that the village chief must have come to them this time because there must be something very important that he could only tell his grandson in person, and they could not convey it on his behalf as before.
After thinking it through, she didn't want to argue with the village chief about anything, and walked towards the house next door where she and her husband lived.
"Fengfeng, please go out for a moment. I'll look after your grandfather while you talk to the village chief."
As soon as she walked into the room, before she could say anything, Luo Luo, who was lying at his grandson's feet, raised his head and looked in her direction.
Seeing this, Grandma Tang, who had just finished talking to her grandson, lowered her head and touched the puppy's head. "If you want to follow, go ahead."
What could a puppy understand? All it needs to do is follow its grandson.
After hearing what his grandmother said, Tang Rufeng guessed that the village chief must have something important to talk to him about.
Otherwise, given my personality of not wanting to see or interact with people, my grandmother would not have made things difficult for me. Instead, she would have understood the situation first and then relayed it to me before making a decision.
This had happened many times before, and Tang Rufeng had almost gotten used to it. In comparison, the village chief's visit this time was particularly different.
Tang Rufeng stood up and was about to walk out when the little dog Luo Luo followed him. As he walked out of the door, a small gray fur ball jumped out from the corner, climbed towards him, and finally landed on his shoulder.
Grandma Tang was just watching her grandson walk out, wondering what the village chief wanted to see her about, when she caught sight of the little mouse and instantly looked away.
Although the little mouse has been at home for such a long time, she is still a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the little mouse seemed to know that she was afraid, so even if it wanted to stay with Tang Rufeng, it would try its best to hide when she was around and not let her see it.
Although I know it may be hiding in a corner, it is better not to see it than to see it.
As soon as Tang Rufeng went out, Grandma Tang looked down and saw a small piece of biscuit left on the side. Looking at the bite marks on it, it should have been bitten by a little mouse.
"Put it aside, as Huidou just ate it. You'll probably want to continue eating it when you come back later."
Grandpa Tang followed her gaze and saw half a biscuit left on a small tray.
After Tang Rufeng accompanied him, he put some food in there for the little mouse to eat. Unexpectedly, the little mouse took a long time to eat half of it.
"Why is this little mouse so different from other mice? Other mice are eager to empty all the food, but this one eats slowly and doesn't like to hoard food."
After listening to what Grandpa Tang said, Grandma Tang stood up helplessly, picked up the small tray, and put it in a small cabinet on the side.
"Fortunately, although it eats slowly, it never wastes the food it starts eating and always finishes it in the end. It's a very well-behaved little mouse."
Listening to Grandma Tang's complaints, Grandpa Tang laughed along, but just after he said two words, he couldn't help but feel a cough spreading in his throat. He lowered his head and coughed for a long time before he recovered.
"Okay, you should have a good rest. If you don't take good care of yourself, you'll cough your lungs out."
Grandma Tang helplessly took the water from the bedside table and handed it to Grandpa Tang to drink while scolding him.
Grandpa Tang listened, obviously used to it, and smiled without refuting.
Grandma Tang was talking to her husband, but her attention was intentionally or unintentionally directed towards the main room next door.
"You can't hear me, why don't you stop guarding me and go take a look around?"
Grandpa Tang found his wife's expression a little funny and offered some advice.
"Go to hell, you have no sense of propriety."
Hearing his words, Grandma Tang rolled her eyes and rejected his suggestion. She also knew that she couldn't hear the conversation next door in her room, so she had to give up.
The room they are staying in now is the room she and her husband live in. When Tang Rufeng first returned home, the situation was not as good as it is now.
He would feel uncomfortable and unable to rest well if there was even the slightest movement.
In order for him to rest better, the entire house was renovated. Not only was Tang Rufeng's current room soundproofed when the door was closed, but even the room of the old couple was renovated.
"You said, it would have been better if we hadn't decorated this room in the first place."
Grandma Tang thought about it and couldn't help but say it out loud. If it hadn't been renovated, she would be able to hear the sounds from the main room while sitting in her room.
She didn't have to worry about whether to break her previous upbringing and eavesdrop on other people's conversations.
"Come on, don't worry. Once Fengfeng has talked to the village chief, will he still not let you know what's going on?"
Grandpa Tang said something to comfort him, a tired look on his face.
Seeing this, Grandma Tang didn't plan to continue talking to people.
To let Grandpa Tang have a good rest, she took out a sewing basket from the drawer next to her. It was filled with various pieces of cloth and needles and threads in a mess.
She picked it up, found one of the pieces skillfully, and began her performance.
They were quiet here, and the village chief and Tang Rufeng in the main room next door had just brought the topic to the point.
Looking at the letter of appointment in his hand, Tang Rufeng was silent.
"Grandpa Village Head, you were worried that the higher-ups would release outsiders into the village, so you recommended me out. But you know my health condition. Who can guarantee that those higher-ups won't use this as an excuse to have me removed and release new people into the village?"
After listening to the village chief's words, Tang Rufeng frowned and thought, and finally thought of this possibility.
"No, now is the easiest time for them to release people to our side. As long as the situation outside is not good in the future and our village has the favor of the godmother, they will not release irrelevant people to our village at will."
After listening to him, the village chief shook his head and explained.
He had these concerns at the beginning, but after hearing that the mayor sent people to Shangyou Village instead of Daxi Village, he vaguely realized that there would not be much change in Daxi Village in the future.
Now the godmother only needs to show a little bit of performance, and the people above her will lower their eyes and pay some attention to her.
When the godmother's power can really cover the surrounding area and can protect people outside Daxi Village, it will no longer matter who Daxi Village may be forced to release in the future. What will be important is the godmother's attitude.
"Well, that's good. Then, Grandpa Village Chief, please help me with this."
Tang Rufeng nodded. He was just raising his doubts. Now that he had the answers, he would not continue to focus on these things.
He pushed the inauguration document in his hand toward the village chief to show his trust.
"There are some things in the village that can be handled at hand. You can ask Brother Wu to send them over. I can still handle this."
When Tang Rufeng saw the village chief put away the documents and prepare to leave, he seemed to have thought of something and made a suggestion.
Anyway, he knows how to do all these things. Maybe he hasn't used them for two years, so his hands are a little rusty. But after all, he has learned them and used them for a long time before, so it is still very simple for him to handle some village affairs.
"Okay! It just so happens that I, your village chief, don't like dealing with these paperwork. It's very annoying. If I had the time, I might as well go down to the fields and read a few more rounds."
Hearing his words, the village chief happily agreed.
It's not just because someone has taken over the tasks that he previously thought were very tedious, but also because Tang Rufeng was able to come up with this idea himself, which proves that his health is really much better now, and he has already vaguely shown signs of wanting to contact the outside world.
As long as you have this idea, recovery will only be a matter of time.
The village chief came happily and left happily.
Because he was so happy, he left without even saying goodbye to Grandma Tang and her husband in the next room. He just left like that.
After watching the village chief leave, Tang Rufeng knew that he would have to do the rest of the explaining himself.
Fortunately, he is not lacking in patience.
Turning around, Tang Rufeng was just about to get up and go next door to talk to his grandparents about what had just happened. Before he could see clearly where he was going, he noticed the person standing in the corner.
"Captain, good afternoon."
Tang Rufeng was not at all surprised to see the figure, nor was he as excited as he was before by the river. Instead, he was very calm and greeted the figure with a gentle smile.
After hearing his words, the shadow floated towards him. Soon, a familiar handsome face appeared in front of Tang Rufeng.
The figure came to Tang Rufeng, without making any sound, but just stretched out his hand and patted him lightly on the head, the action was very gentle.
After completing these actions, the figures disintegrated.
The little mouse standing on Tang Rufeng's shoulder raised its two front paws, and the whole mouse stood up, sniffing in the direction where the figure had just stayed.
Then he stretched out his little paws and scratched in that direction. He caught something and stuffed it into his cheeks.
When the little mouse did this, Tang Rufeng did not move at all. He just stood there to make it easier for the little mouse to move.
After the little mouse finished the action on its claws, he reached out, took the little mouse off his shoulder, and rubbed the little mouse's cheeks with his fingers.
"Gray Bean is really amazing."
After giving it a compliment, he saw the little mouse tilting its head back and letting him rub it, with its two black eyes narrowed, looking very proud. He smiled and rubbed the little mouse's head again.
After seeing that the little mouse had been rubbed so hard that it didn't know which way was which, he let go and put the little mouse back on his shoulder.
He walked towards his grandparents' room next door.
There was the godmother at the village entrance and the gray bean on his shoulder in front of him, although he initially thought that his captain was just an illusion he had imagined.
But as time slowly passed, during this time, his captain would appear in front of him from time to time.
Almost every time the captain appears and leaves, Huidou, who has been following him, will make the same move.
Although he was confused at first, after interacting with the captain, he was sure that the figure was not his imagination, but a real soul with the captain's consciousness.
Perhaps due to some reasons, the captain's appearance time was very short at the beginning, and even his face could only appear briefly.
This made him think that what he had seen before was an illusion, and he almost did something impulsive.
After the captain appeared many times, the first thing he did was pat him on the head. What else could he not understand?
From the big head pats at the beginning to the light pats now.
At the beginning, the captain was disappointed with him and dissatisfied with how he had made himself into this state, but he felt more distressed.
Although the body was transparent and untouchable like air, Tang Rufeng still felt a strong emotion rushing towards him during the brief appearance, and a warm feeling spread in his heart.
This was an emotion completely different from the care of family members. Carrying memories of the past, it slowly caressed the abyssal crack in Tang Rufeng's heart after he lost them.
